OVEN LIGHT (Some Models)
The swrtch for the rnterlor oven light ISlocated on the control panel See
page 9 for more tnformatfon
OVEN VENT
When the oven ISon, arr moves through a vent below the control panel.
The vent ISneeded for proper arr flow In theoven and good bakfng results.
Do not block thus vent. Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire or
damage to the range.
MOISTURE
As your oven heats up, water droplets may form on the door or door glass.
To prevent this, open the oven door for the first minute of oven heat up
lo let Ihe morst arr out.
NEW OVEN ODOR
Durrng the frrst baking and brorffng cycles on your new oven, there may
be some odor, Thus ISnormal and IScaused by the heating of new parts
and rnsulatron The odor WIIIgo away wrthtn a short time. A vent fan or
other ventrlatron WIIIhelp to clear the arr.
OVEN COOKWARE
: ALUMINUM: Absorbs heat laster than glass or steel and conducts heat
well Grves delrcate browntng, tender crusts, and reduces spatterrng of
2 roasts Best for cakes, mufkns. quack breads, cookies and roasting.
OVENPROOF GLASS/POl7ERY: Because thuscookware absorbs and
9 holds heat well you should lower your oven lemperature 25oF. Grves a
food a deep, crusty brown top Best lor casseroles
: TEFLON” , DULL OR DARKENED COOKWARE: Absorbs heat quicker

Good for pies and other foods baked tn pastry shells.

numbered starting at the bottom wrth number 1 In general, when usrng

using two racks, positions No 2 and 4 work best
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom block

PREHEATING
Preheating lets the oven heat evenly before the food IS put In. Allow 10
mrnutes at temperatures less than 3500 F and 15 mlnules at 3500 F or more
Wrth recrpfs that call for an oven preheated lo a certarn temperature, II
ISvery Important that you lollow those rnstructlons It ISnot lrkely that you
WIIIgel good baking results every time without preheating to the needed
temperature, unless the recrpe says to start In a cold oven
After the oven IS preheated and you are ready to put the food In, try lo
have everything handy so that you wrll not have to leave lhe oven door
open lor an extended penod of trme.
Cpenrng the door 100often to check the food during baking makes It rm-
possble for the oven to stay at the same temperature you have selected
Try to trme your baking and check only when close to being finrshed
NOTE: When using cookware made of ovenproof glass or pottery.
Teflon o coaled cookware and dull or darkened pans in the oven, be
sure to reduce recipe temperature by 25’JF (see Choosing Cookware,
Page 6).

Your oven door should be completely closed whrle brotling.
Use only the brorler pan and grid that came wrth your range for broil-
lng. They are made for proper drarnage of fat and llqulds and help pre-
vent spatter. smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when brorlrng. For even brorlrng on both sides start the
lood on a cold pan Allow slightly more than half the cookmg time for
the frrsl sde then turn the food using tongs. If you pierce the meat wrth
a fork, the furces WIII escape.
When broiling frozen meal, use one rack posllion lower than shown
in the chart and up to 1% times the broiling lime.
Tnm the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit the fatty edges
lo keep the meat lrom curling.
Always put the food berng broiled on rhe proper rack (see chart at nght)
Food placed too close to the brorler may spatter. smoke or catch fire
For maxrmum fucrness. salt the flrst side lust before turning the mea:
Salt Ihe second srde just before servq
Brush chrcken and lrsh wrth butter several trmes as they brorl When
brollrng fish. grease the gnd to prevent strckrng.
Never leave a sorted brorler pan In the range. Grease In Ihe pan may
smoke or burn the next time the oven ISused See page 9’ for 11~s
